held at Anoka State hospital
during the school year.
Bethel students are among the
participators in the program. Earle
Bennett, Dave Buck, Don Ciske,
Julie Johnson, Kathy Johnson and
Gretchen Sawyer participated in
last week's service group.
Week - end activities include in-formal

Former Bethel students Al and

First, however, they plan to take

La Rioja is in northwestern Ar-gentina.
Since the country was
settled from the north down, it
remains a "most traditional" area.
Predominant religion is Roman
Catholicism, but very few people
attend services regularly. "While
there are opportunities to point
out certain fallacies in the church's
teaching, we attempt to present
the Gospel in a positive way," the
missionary stressed.

Chapel Silence Should
Encourage Meditation
Most of the campus community continues to attend chapel.
Unfortunately, most of the campus community continues to
talk and joke as they arrive. The pre-chapel babel is matched
only by the post-chapel rush, when everyone crowds for a good
position in the line toward the mailboxes.
Silence in church is not the rule in all Baptist churches,
and the fieldhouse provides anything but worshipful physical
surroundings. But steps shonld be made to encourage quiet
before and after chapel services.
Lights could be kept lower before chapel begins. The
organist could avoid marching songs and select reverent pre-ludes.
Following the benediction the organ could continue the
quiet by playing an amen. Instructions could be given to post-pone
dismantling the chapel setting until the audience has left.
Most important, those attending chapel must see the
value of reverent silence. Chapel furnishes 35 minutes of re-treat
from the academic and social activities of the school day
to focus attention on the spiritual. The daily gathering should
provide both a chance to hear others speak and a time for
meditation and self-examination. Chapel is not now providing
an opportunity for quietness.
Archaeologists Protest Project,
Unearth Neo-Nik Dag Culture
Dear Editor:
I am writing to express my per-sonal
appreciation to all who were
involved in this year's World Mis-sions
week. Although unable to
take full advantage of the week's
opportunities and challenges, I was
greatly influenced by the chapel
services and movies and reminded
once again of the claims of Jesus
Christ on my own life.
Sometimes we forget the fact
that many people had to sacrifice
much in order that we might have
the gospel and many times we tend
to overlook our own responsibility
in witnessing for Christ. This year's
World Missions week was organiz-ed
and carried out in a way that
made it impossible to overlook my
own responsibility in this area.
The communion service seemed
to be the perfect way to end the
week's emphasis. It was wonder-ful
to sit in the presence of mis-sionaries,
foreign students and
other friends and partake of the
Lord's Supper together. Christian
fellowship like this is precious and
we need more of it.
I shall not forget the week and
its challenge and am very grateful
for it.
Jim Spiceland
Week Leaves Impact
Dear Editor:
Many of us are thanking our
Lord for the impression that
World Missions week left on cam-pus.
The visible response as well
as the quiet impact were the great-est
that I have observed since I
have been at Bethel.
Expressions of appreciation
should go to those who had a part
in planning and preparing for the
week. The Special Weeks commit-tee
with the help and co-operation
of World Missions fellowship did
an excellent job in organizing the
morning chapel sessions, the after-noon
films and the evening serv-ices,
as well as the luncheons, in-terviews
and prayer meetings. The
many long hours spent and the
spirit in which they were given
helped to make a good week a
better one.
For different people, different
events during the week stood
out as highlights. By selecting
those that impressed me most
I do not mean to minimize any
of the others.
The film "Monganga," shown
Wednesday afternoon, was an out-standing
representation of the mis-sionary
medical doctor in action.
The humility and dedication that
the doctor displayed deeply im-pressed
me.
Rev. Richard Varberg's compell-ing
challenge Wednesday evening
will long be remembered by those
of us who heard him. He confront-ed
us with reasons why each of
us should seriously consider the
foreign mission field, pointing out
that a "call" is just as much a pre-requisite
for any other vocation
as it is for missions.
I consider it to have been a
great privilege to participate in
Friday morning's communion
service. We were reminded ef-fectively
that Christians of every
nation are all one in Christ. If
everyone who stood to indicate
commitment to Christ really
meant it, our campus should be
different from now on.
The final highlight for me was
a long talk with another student
late Friday night. We shared how
God had directed the circumstan-ces
in both of our lives leading
to our respective commitments re-garding
missions.
May none of us forget the mes-sage
of last week.
Bob Sorley
Communion Bears Meaning
Dear Editor:
Another World Missions week
has come and gone at Bethel. In
my opinion it was one of the most
St. Paul's city council has been
plagued by complaints because the
urban renewal project around the
state capitol has been left uncom-pleted.
Unknown to the public, the
archeology and anthropology de-partments
of several Twin cities
colleges have jointly filed a peti-tion
with the council to prevent
the converting of the area into a
parking lot. University professor
Sargon claims that the ancient
city of Frau has been unearthed
by the slum clearance contractors.
Frau was once the capitol of
the Neo-Nik Dag empire, dating
from 4004 to 1066 B.C. Stupendous
buildings, ornate monuments and
grotesque clothing have best sur-vived
the ravages of time. Unfor-tunately,
only the foundations re-main
intact.
Professor Sargon says the
sanscrut figures of the once-profitable
I have experienced over
many years here.
Earlier this fall some of us shar-ed
a concern that missions empha-sis
might have become altogether
too academic in recent years. The
planning committee and the mis-sionaries
of the past week achiev-ed
a healty combination of educa-tion
and inspiration in the total
presentation of the week.
It was particularly meaningful
to me during one of the morning
chapel services to have George
Johnson speaking to us, a former
classmate of mine, as well as a
member of the class of 1949 with
which I was graduated from the
college.
This led me to reflect upon the
avenues of services into which the
nine of us were lead. Three are
pastors; two are foreign mission-aries
(George Johnson, Assam and
Vernon Anderson, Brazil) one is
teaching in an Indian mission
school in New Mexico; one is
farming and two are involved in
the task of Christian higher edu-cation.
The widening of the concept of
what constitutes "full-time Chris-tion
service" has, I am convinced,
been a very wholesome develop-ment
at Bethel during the last
decade. But students and faculty
must share President Lundquist's
concern that so few are presently
responding to the urgent needs
presented by the specifically
church-related vocations.
Let us pray that the promp-tings
of the past week toward
self-examination and a candid
consideration of God's will may
persist and even nag any who
have sloughed off such prompt-ings
hitherto.
Dr. Ivan Fah's quiet leadership
of the chapel services was appre-ciated
deeply. The communion
service on Friday morning was
more meaningful to me than any I
have ever experienced before —
towering Obituary Obelisk tell
of the great Palpitate War of
1776 B.C. in which over half of
the Neo-Nik Dag men were kill-ed
by a single warrior-woman,
Royalchen, who swung a lethal
sack of metal coins. Additional
money was secured from the
dead bodies and added to the
sack.
A poem, "A Capitol Idea," writ-ten
on the newly demythologized
Ruined Stone, depicts the crown-ing
of Queen Royalchen and the
suggestion that a capitol be erect-ed
with the money. Provincial gov-ernesses,
called satraps ("sa" mean-ing
"male") were appointed, and
all men were to be captured and
chained in the Great Stocks.
Great yards where the stocks
once stood can be seen in South
St. Paul. The university paid South
St. Paul an immense sum for the

perhaps because I was sitting next
to one of several students who have
just recently had fresh, vital en-counters
with God, through Christ,
and I therefore had special reason
to rejoice.

Interest Keys Evangelism
Dear Editor:
In the Nov. 13 issue of the
CLARION I read with real interest
the letter by Ed Anthony. In his
letter was expressed the opinion
that Bethel college and seminary
should offer academic courses in
personal evangelism. This is a very
sincere and commendable recom-mendation.
I have taken such a course in
the past. I received an A in this
course by (1) memorizing the out-line
of the textbook and (2) mem-orizing
about '75 scripture verses.
I did not become a soul winner
by taking this course. Whatever
success I have had in personal ev-angelism
was not aided in any
great measure by this course.
By the grace of God I have had
the privilege of dealing in various
situations with about 30 folks who
have made decisions for Christ.
When I was in high school back
in Michigan I realized that if I
was to be an effective personal
worker I would have to be inform-ed
as to technique so I went about
on my own to find out what I
needed to know.
If Bethel college and seminary
students really want to know how
to be effective in personal evan-gelism,
if they care enough, they
can find out what they need to
know.
Bethel students make elaborate
plans for Homecoming and Nik
Dag during free time. It is quite
obvious that one can make time
for whatever is most interesting
and rewarding.

first stocks discovered, but the
price of stocks has subsequently
gone done.
When all the men were given
separate but equal accomoda-tions
in the stocks the first an-nual
Race of the morning was
held in and around the capitol.
Then women - warriors, armed
with money sacks, were to pur-sue
the then-freed men until
each soldier who had a money
sack had knocked out a man.
If at any time during the course
a man uttered the word "no," he
was considered blaspheming a-gainst
the god Frau, and was im-mediately
dropped from the course
providing he had acquired at least
three cuts.
If two or more women reported
that they had caught the same
man, the court of higher criticism
would make the decision on the
basis of the facts known. Here the
governess of the sovereign satrap
of Mississippi was the judge of
race discrimination.
After a man had been caught
and registered, the woman would
hang her tribal fetish around his
neck and the couple would hire
a chariot to go down into the
city for a night of extravagant
gluttony and revelry. In the fol-lowing
morning the men would
be sent back to the stocks, but
many escaped to return to their
provinces and former occupa-tions.
Under breech of contract the
city council must eventually allow
the contractors hired to finish
black-topping the area. Perhaps
the entire city of Frau will be lost
forever if action is not taken; the
state legislature believes that Sar-gon
has discovered only the base-ments
of the razed slum houses and
will not initiate any protective leg-islation.

It has been brought to mind that
a great number of relatively inter-ested
persons are not aware of the
many art galleries in the Twin
City area.
Two first class galleries are the
Bottega gallery, at 818 Hennepin
avenue south and the Kilbride-
Bradley art gallery at 68 south 10
street. The Bottego gallery offers
only one or two selections but
changes these frequently and with
much accuracy. Featuring the plas-tic
arts this month, the Kilbride-
Bradley gallery gives the Twin
City student a look at foreign art-ists.
Noteworthy is the reference

in the current section of
LIFE magazine. From November
27 through January 19, a major

conjunction with this are two
other exhibitions, "Three Cen-turies
of American Prints" and
"A Century of American Photo-graphy."

Ferra Pedersen shares interests in
music and therapy with her fam-ily.
The elder daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Charles Pedersen, she
began study of the keyboard under
the guidance of her mother.
Mrs. Pedersen, an accomplished
teacher and performer, gives pri-vate
lessons and has served as
adjudicator at regional music con-tests.
Her sister Carol, a senior, is
outstanding in the high school mu-sic
program in Walworth, Wisc.
Rev. Pedersen is director of the
Christian League for the Handicap
ped, an international organization.
After graduate studies, Ferra
plans to integrate music and
therapy. This involves the use
of music and psychology in cases
of mentally and physically han-dicapped
individuals in restoring
them to more normal health.
At Bethel, Ferra has studied
piano under Carl Landahl and
Clara Seecamp. While at the Uni-versity
of Wisconsin her sopho-more
year, she continued piano les-sons
and played oboe in the uni-versity
band. She has also studied
in the American Conservatory of
Music in Chicago.
Ferra has a special interest in
baroque music. Her recital next

in a recital with other
college students on Sunday, Dec.
Currently Ferra is student teach-ing
in the West St. Paul school dis-trict.
Her music classes range from

rolled over an equally strong Mor-ris
team 33-14.
This year's team concluded the
season with a 65-0 victory chiefly
due to the fact that not one starter
was out of action or even slowed
down. The healthy Bethel team
racked up a grand total of 276
points, good enough for second in

Bethel's cross country team
closed their season finishing sec-ond
in the AAU 10,000 meter
championship. The meet, open to
all AAU runners, consisted main-ly
of runners from the Twin Cities
Track club (TCTC), Winona State
college, Fargo Track club and
Bethel.
Ron Daws of TCTC captured first
place as he circled the 6.3 mile
course in 34:58. Thirty three run-ners
entered the race consisting
of three 2.1 mile laps around the
hilly Como Park golf course.
Dale Rogers led the Bethel
harriers, finishing seventh in
37:45. Rogers has consistently
led the Royals, capturing five
first places and setting several
course records.
Dale Pearson, coming strong
during the last few meets, finished
a strong eighth in 37:54, nine
seconds behind Rogers. Captain
Pearson has captured three sec-ond
places and several third places.
Riley Coombs, the third Bethel
finisher, captured twelfth place as
he ran the course in 39:03. Bill
Carlson and Ken Haniwalt, the
Royals fourth and fifth runners,
finished twentieth and twenty-first
in 40:11 and 40:38 respectively.
Dick Aften, an Osseo high
school senior, finished second
with 35:34. Glen Gustafson, Pat
Lanin and Craig Deutsche of
TCTC captured third, fourth and
sixth places with Bruce Smith
of Winona capturing the fifth
spot.

Intramural action continues this
week with a full slate scheduled
for Wednesday and Thursday
nights. Other current intramural
activities include a mixed doubles
badminton tournament and a ping
pong tournament.
Let's take a peek at basketball prospects for the approaching sea-son.
About 18 men have been working out for the past several weeks
and four more have begun practice since the termination of football
season. Although the team has been actually scrimmaging for only about
the last two weeks, there has been ample opportunity to observe the
team in action.
Only three men were lost through graduation last year, but they
were three important men. Lee Bajuniemi, Dave Peterman and Dennis
Walstrom left team-weakening gaps that had many people shaking their
heads about this year's squad.
Certainly we will miss the services of Peterman and Bajuniemi
as guards. I don't think their expert ball handling can be equaled by
anyone on the present team, but this year's squad possesses something
that last year's lacked: depth.
Not one player can feel confident that he has his position cinched.
There are no duds on the team. They are all good and they are all
pressing the person on top for his position.
Returning lettermen include co-captains Phil Bolinder and Roger Olson,
Randy Johnson, Don Moore, Jerry Moulton, George Palke, Ed Peterman
and Gene Selander. Bolstering the group will be freshman guards Cabot
Dow, Doug Kelly and Bob Nolin and forward Rich Nelson, a transfer
student.
First game of the season is next Tuesday, Nov. 26, at LaCrosse,
Wisc.
Scrimmages with Hamline and St. John's have found some of our
guys a little slow in coming around, but this is basically the same team
that had trouble getting started last year. It shaped up then and I'm
confident it will now.
Royals Avoid Injury To Win
by Denny Port
Bethel's football team was able
to shake off the injury bug which
inflicted its forces in 1962. It is
interesting to notice the contrast
in serious injuries between the
two successful Royal teams.
In 1962 Bethel played its final
game at Morris with five regular
offensive starters and a regular
defensive starter on the bench. The
crippled Bethel team eked out a
20-19 victory.
Jerry Oas had long since been
out of action with a broken hand
as had been Bob Larson with a
torn knee. Duane Gibson was out
with a knee injury, and Jim Nel-son
had joined him on the side-lines.
Don Land was inactive with
a broken wrist and defensive line-man
Jerry Kanerva had a broken
foot.
All but Larson were back this
year and in fine health as Bethel
TCTC won the team trophy with
25 points followed by Bethel with
46 points and Winona with 49. The
Royals had been beaten by Winona
State earlier in the season.

Chapel Silence Should
Encourage Meditation
Most of the campus community continues to attend chapel.
Unfortunately, most of the campus community continues to
talk and joke as they arrive. The pre-chapel babel is matched
only by the post-chapel rush, when everyone crowds for a good
position in the line toward the mailboxes.
Silence in church is not the rule in all Baptist churches,
and the fieldhouse provides anything but worshipful physical
surroundings. But steps shonld be made to encourage quiet
before and after chapel services.
Lights could be kept lower before chapel begins. The
organist could avoid marching songs and select reverent pre-ludes.
Following the benediction the organ could continue the
quiet by playing an amen. Instructions could be given to post-pone
dismantling the chapel setting until the audience has left.
Most important, those attending chapel must see the
value of reverent silence. Chapel furnishes 35 minutes of re-treat
from the academic and social activities of the school day
to focus attention on the spiritual. The daily gathering should
provide both a chance to hear others speak and a time for
meditation and self-examination. Chapel is not now providing
an opportunity for quietness.
Archaeologists Protest Project,
Unearth Neo-Nik Dag Culture
Dear Editor:
I am writing to express my per-sonal
appreciation to all who were
involved in this year's World Mis-sions
week. Although unable to
take full advantage of the week's
opportunities and challenges, I was
greatly influenced by the chapel
services and movies and reminded
once again of the claims of Jesus
Christ on my own life.
Sometimes we forget the fact
that many people had to sacrifice
much in order that we might have
the gospel and many times we tend
to overlook our own responsibility
in witnessing for Christ. This year's
World Missions week was organiz-ed
and carried out in a way that
made it impossible to overlook my
own responsibility in this area.
The communion service seemed
to be the perfect way to end the
week's emphasis. It was wonder-ful
to sit in the presence of mis-sionaries,
foreign students and
other friends and partake of the
Lord's Supper together. Christian
fellowship like this is precious and
we need more of it.
I shall not forget the week and
its challenge and am very grateful
for it.
Jim Spiceland
Week Leaves Impact
Dear Editor:
Many of us are thanking our
Lord for the impression that
World Missions week left on cam-pus.
The visible response as well
as the quiet impact were the great-est
that I have observed since I
have been at Bethel.
Expressions of appreciation
should go to those who had a part
in planning and preparing for the
week. The Special Weeks commit-tee
with the help and co-operation
of World Missions fellowship did
an excellent job in organizing the
morning chapel sessions, the after-noon
films and the evening serv-ices,
as well as the luncheons, in-terviews
and prayer meetings. The
many long hours spent and the
spirit in which they were given
helped to make a good week a
better one.
For different people, different
events during the week stood
out as highlights. By selecting
those that impressed me most
I do not mean to minimize any
of the others.
The film "Monganga," shown
Wednesday afternoon, was an out-standing
representation of the mis-sionary
medical doctor in action.
The humility and dedication that
the doctor displayed deeply im-pressed
me.
Rev. Richard Varberg's compell-ing
challenge Wednesday evening
will long be remembered by those
of us who heard him. He confront-ed
us with reasons why each of
us should seriously consider the
foreign mission field, pointing out
that a "call" is just as much a pre-requisite
for any other vocation
as it is for missions.
I consider it to have been a
great privilege to participate in
Friday morning's communion
service. We were reminded ef-fectively
that Christians of every
nation are all one in Christ. If
everyone who stood to indicate
commitment to Christ really
meant it, our campus should be
different from now on.
The final highlight for me was
a long talk with another student
late Friday night. We shared how
God had directed the circumstan-ces
in both of our lives leading
to our respective commitments re-garding
missions.
May none of us forget the mes-sage
of last week.
Bob Sorley
Communion Bears Meaning
Dear Editor:
Another World Missions week
has come and gone at Bethel. In
my opinion it was one of the most
St. Paul's city council has been
plagued by complaints because the
urban renewal project around the
state capitol has been left uncom-pleted.
Unknown to the public, the
archeology and anthropology de-partments
of several Twin cities
colleges have jointly filed a peti-tion
with the council to prevent
the converting of the area into a
parking lot. University professor
Sargon claims that the ancient
city of Frau has been unearthed
by the slum clearance contractors.
Frau was once the capitol of
the Neo-Nik Dag empire, dating
from 4004 to 1066 B.C. Stupendous
buildings, ornate monuments and
grotesque clothing have best sur-vived
the ravages of time. Unfor-tunately,
only the foundations re-main
intact.
Professor Sargon says the
sanscrut figures of the once-profitable
I have experienced over
many years here.
Earlier this fall some of us shar-ed
a concern that missions empha-sis
might have become altogether
too academic in recent years. The
planning committee and the mis-sionaries
of the past week achiev-ed
a healty combination of educa-tion
and inspiration in the total
presentation of the week.
It was particularly meaningful
to me during one of the morning
chapel services to have George
Johnson speaking to us, a former
classmate of mine, as well as a
member of the class of 1949 with
which I was graduated from the
college.
This led me to reflect upon the
avenues of services into which the
nine of us were lead. Three are
pastors; two are foreign mission-aries
(George Johnson, Assam and
Vernon Anderson, Brazil) one is
teaching in an Indian mission
school in New Mexico; one is
farming and two are involved in
the task of Christian higher edu-cation.
The widening of the concept of
what constitutes "full-time Chris-tion
service" has, I am convinced,
been a very wholesome develop-ment
at Bethel during the last
decade. But students and faculty
must share President Lundquist's
concern that so few are presently
responding to the urgent needs
presented by the specifically
church-related vocations.
Let us pray that the promp-tings
of the past week toward
self-examination and a candid
consideration of God's will may
persist and even nag any who
have sloughed off such prompt-ings
hitherto.
Dr. Ivan Fah's quiet leadership
of the chapel services was appre-ciated
deeply. The communion
service on Friday morning was
more meaningful to me than any I
have ever experienced before —
towering Obituary Obelisk tell
of the great Palpitate War of
1776 B.C. in which over half of
the Neo-Nik Dag men were kill-ed
by a single warrior-woman,
Royalchen, who swung a lethal
sack of metal coins. Additional
money was secured from the
dead bodies and added to the
sack.
A poem, "A Capitol Idea," writ-ten
on the newly demythologized
Ruined Stone, depicts the crown-ing
of Queen Royalchen and the
suggestion that a capitol be erect-ed
with the money. Provincial gov-ernesses,
called satraps ("sa" mean-ing
"male") were appointed, and
all men were to be captured and
chained in the Great Stocks.
Great yards where the stocks
once stood can be seen in South
St. Paul. The university paid South
St. Paul an immense sum for the
g Challenge
perhaps because I was sitting next
to one of several students who have
just recently had fresh, vital en-counters
with God, through Christ,
and I therefore had special reason
to rejoice.
"Blest be the tie that binds ..."

Interest Keys Evangelism
Dear Editor:
In the Nov. 13 issue of the
CLARION I read with real interest
the letter by Ed Anthony. In his
letter was expressed the opinion
that Bethel college and seminary
should offer academic courses in
personal evangelism. This is a very
sincere and commendable recom-mendation.
I have taken such a course in
the past. I received an A in this
course by (1) memorizing the out-line
of the textbook and (2) mem-orizing
about '75 scripture verses.
I did not become a soul winner
by taking this course. Whatever
success I have had in personal ev-angelism
was not aided in any
great measure by this course.
By the grace of God I have had
the privilege of dealing in various
situations with about 30 folks who
have made decisions for Christ.
When I was in high school back
in Michigan I realized that if I
was to be an effective personal
worker I would have to be inform-ed
as to technique so I went about
on my own to find out what I
needed to know.
If Bethel college and seminary
students really want to know how
to be effective in personal evan-gelism,
if they care enough, they
can find out what they need to

Race of the morning was
held in and around the capitol.
Then women - warriors, armed
with money sacks, were to pur-sue
the then-freed men until
each soldier who had a money
sack had knocked out a man.
If at any time during the course
a man uttered the word "no," he
was considered blaspheming a-gainst
the god Frau, and was im-mediately
dropped from the course
providing he had acquired at least
three cuts.
If two or more women reported
that they had caught the same

race discrimination.
After a man had been caught

hang her tribal fetish around his

will not initiate any protective leg-islation.

It has been brought to mind that
a great number of relatively inter-ested
persons are not aware of the
many art galleries in the Twin
City area.
Two first class galleries are the
Bottega gallery, at 818 Hennepin
avenue south and the Kilbride-
Bradley art gallery at 68 south 10
street. The Bottego gallery offers
only one or two selections but
changes these frequently and with
much accuracy. Featuring the plas-tic
arts this month, the Kilbride-
Bradley gallery gives the Twin
City student a look at foreign art-ists.
Noteworthy is the reference
Minneapolis institute of arts re-ceived
in the current section of
LIFE magazine. From November
27 through January 19, a major
national exhibition of paintings,
sculpture and decorative arts is
being shown. Its title is "Four
Centuries of American Art." In
conjunction with this are two
other exhibitions, "Three Cen-turies
of American Prints" and
"A Century of American Photo-graphy."
Throughout the month of Nov-ember
the Minneapolis symphony
orchestra will be performing with
various guest soloists. Nov. 22, vir-tuoso
violinist Yehudi Menuhin
performs a Paganini violin con-certo.
Included in the program are
Brahms, Piston and Gershwin's
"American in Paris."
Tickets may be purchased at a
sizable reduction by Bethel stu-dents
from Bethel's chapter of
MENC.
Peter Nero, a popular pianist,
will perform in the "Adventures
in Music" series on Nov. 24. His
program includes works by lbert,
Enesco, Gershwin and music he
has performed on his numerous
recordings.
The same day at the Minneapolis
institute of arts, the "Doc Evans
Dixieland Band" will give the last
program of their 1963 series. The
Evans group is considered by many
to be the best of its kind in the
upper Midwest.

Senior music education major
Ferra Pedersen shares interests in
music and therapy with her fam-ily.
The elder daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Charles Pedersen, she
began study of the keyboard under
the guidance of her mother.
Mrs. Pedersen, an accomplished
teacher and performer, gives pri-vate
lessons and has served as
adjudicator at regional music con-tests.
Her sister Carol, a senior, is
outstanding in the high school mu-sic
program in Walworth, Wisc.
Rev. Pedersen is director of the
Christian League for the Handicap
ped, an international organization.
After graduate studies, Ferra
plans to integrate music and
therapy. This involves the use
of music and psychology in cases
of mentally and physically han-dicapped
individuals in restoring
them to more normal health.
At Bethel, Ferra has studied
piano under Carl Landahl and
Clara Seecamp. While at the Uni-versity
of Wisconsin her sopho-more
year, she continued piano les-sons
and played oboe in the uni-versity
band. She has also studied
in the American Conservatory of
Music in Chicago.
Ferra has a special interest in
baroque music. Her recital next
Wednesday, November 20, 1963
Tuesday evening will include from
this period Bach's "Italian Con-certo."
Ferra recently auditioned for
the Schubert Club of St. Paul
and has been scheduled to par-ticipate
in a recital with other
college students on Sunday, Dec.
Currently Ferra is student teach-ing
in the West St. Paul school dis-trict.
Her music classes range from
elementary to junior high level
and include observation of senior
high music.
Ferra gives private instruction
to 11 piano students in the com-munity
and teaches a music lab

rolled over an equally strong Mor-ris
team 33-14.
This year's team concluded the
season with a 65-0 victory chiefly
due to the fact that not one starter
was out of action or even slowed
down. The healthy Bethel team
racked up a grand total of 276
points, good enough for second in
the state.

COlEtTIL, IG-113 Plr
Bethel's cross country team
closed their season finishing sec-ond
in the AAU 10,000 meter
championship. The meet, open to
all AAU runners, consisted main-ly
of runners from the Twin Cities
Track club (TCTC), Winona State
college, Fargo Track club and
Bethel.
Ron Daws of TCTC captured first
place as he circled the 6.3 mile
course in 34:58. Thirty three run-ners
entered the race consisting
of three 2.1 mile laps around the
hilly Como Park golf course.
Dale Rogers led the Bethel
harriers, finishing seventh in
37:45. Rogers has consistently
led the Royals, capturing five
first places and setting several
course records.
Dale Pearson, coming strong
during the last few meets, finished
a strong eighth in 37:54, nine
seconds behind Rogers. Captain
Pearson has captured three sec-ond
places and several third places.
Riley Coombs, the third Bethel
finisher, captured twelfth place as
he ran the course in 39:03. Bill
Carlson and Ken Haniwalt, the
Royals fourth and fifth runners,
finished twentieth and twenty-first
in 40:11 and 40:38 respectively.
Dick Aften, an Osseo high
school senior, finished second
with 35:34. Glen Gustafson, Pat
Lanin and Craig Deutsche of
TCTC captured third, fourth and
sixth places with Bruce Smith
of Winona capturing the fifth
spot.

Intramural action continues this
week with a full slate scheduled
for Wednesday and Thursday
nights. Other current intramural
activities include a mixed doubles
badminton tournament and a ping
pong tournament.
Let's take a peek at basketball prospects for the approaching sea-son.
About 18 men have been working out for the past several weeks
and four more have begun practice since the termination of football
season. Although the team has been actually scrimmaging for only about
the last two weeks, there has been ample opportunity to observe the
team in action.
Only three men were lost through graduation last year, but they
were three important men. Lee Bajuniemi, Dave Peterman and Dennis
Walstrom left team-weakening gaps that had many people shaking their
heads about this year's squad.
Certainly we will miss the services of Peterman and Bajuniemi
as guards. I don't think their expert ball handling can be equaled by
anyone on the present team, but this year's squad possesses something
that last year's lacked: depth.
Not one player can feel confident that he has his position cinched.
There are no duds on the team. They are all good and they are all
pressing the person on top for his position.
Returning lettermen include co-captains Phil Bolinder and Roger Olson,
Randy Johnson, Don Moore, Jerry Moulton, George Palke, Ed Peterman
and Gene Selander. Bolstering the group will be freshman guards Cabot
Dow, Doug Kelly and Bob Nolin and forward Rich Nelson, a transfer
student.
First game of the season is next Tuesday, Nov. 26, at LaCrosse,
Wisc.
Scrimmages with Hamline and St. John's have found some of our
guys a little slow in coming around, but this is basically the same team
that had trouble getting started last year. It shaped up then and I'm
confident it will now.
Royals Avoid Injury To Win
by Denny Port
Bethel's football team was able
to shake off the injury bug which
inflicted its forces in 1962. It is
interesting to notice the contrast
in serious injuries between the
two successful Royal teams.
In 1962 Bethel played its final
game at Morris with five regular
offensive starters and a regular
defensive starter on the bench. The
crippled Bethel team eked out a
20-19 victory.
Jerry Oas had long since been
out of action with a broken hand
as had been Bob Larson with a
torn knee. Duane Gibson was out
with a knee injury, and Jim Nel-son
had joined him on the side-lines.
Don Land was inactive with
a broken wrist and defensive line-man
Jerry Kanerva had a broken
foot.
All but Larson were back this
year and in fine health as Bethel
TCTC won the team trophy with
25 points followed by Bethel with
46 points and Winona with 49. The
Royals had been beaten by Winona
State earlier in the season.

Erickson scored 33 points to

Ferris led the way for the
Counts by scoring 20 points, carry-ing
his team to a 57-49 victory over
the Barons. Obinger had 16 points
for the Counts and Larry Stair
led the Baron attack with 13.
